Panasonic

PhotoMOS® relays for xEVs

In the field of battery isolation monitoring, Panasonic Industry PhotoMOS® relays constructively surpass conventional electromechanical products in some crucial functionality aspects.

Applications

• Isolation monitoring • Battery monitoring

Coming in PCB-efficient, miniaturized designs – 6 PIN DIP SMD AQV2*HAX for isolation monitoring and 8 PIN DIP SMD AQW2*HAX for other automotive switching purposes – they considerably stand out with their MOSFET-based semiconductor principle of non-aging contact resistance and hence unlimited switching cycles. Low CxR values, high optical isolation between input and output as well as DC and AC/DC load ratings constructively ensure contact reliability and operational safety of the switching requirements. Due to not being conceived on a mechanical but an optical principle, Panasonic Industry PhotoMOS® relays are unaffected by vibration, shock and other conditional effects – a fact that can be considered as utterly crucial within the steadily harsh automotive conditions of operation. Features & Benefits • Tested according to AEC-Q101 • Available for high voltage • 1500V for AQV258HAX • Minimal leakage current (typ. <1nA) • Turn-on time: Max. 0.5ms – 1.0ms • Turn-off time: Max. 0.5ms • Input/output isolation up to 5kVrms • Linear output characteristics • No threshold voltage • Stable on-resistance over the entire lifetime • Compact housing • Highly shock and vibration resistant
